## What is Botchigotchi?

Meet your Botchi: a tiny creature with needs, opinions, and an impressive ability to become your problem.

Botchigotchi is a virtual pet game with a strange sense of humor, built around simple daily care, progression, collecting, and discovering what your little disaster gets into next.
Features include virtual pet care and growth, minigames, collectible items and room decorations, an incident ledger that keeps track of memorable events, and plenty of questionable decisions from your tiny roommate.
